Under the Western Region and 177 Plan, UPS Teamster retirees maintain coverage for:

Comprehensive Medical: After annual deductible of $200/person or $400/family is met, the Plan pays 80% of all reasonable and customary charges for in-network medical services and 70% for out-of-network covered services, until the out of pocket cap of $1,000 per person ($2,000 per family) is met. Once the out-of-pocket cap is reached, the Plan pays 100% of all reasonable and customary charges for that calendar year up to the Lifetime maximum. Medical and Prescription benefits are payable until the lifetime maximum of $500,000 per person, has been met.

Your Medical Carrier for this Plan is determined by the State in which you reside:

Dental: In-network, Plan covers 100% of basis services; 80% of major services; and 50% of child orthodontia services up to a $1,500 lifetime maximum. Annual dental maximum of $1,500 per person per calendar year applies.

Family & Dependents: Retirees may opt to cover spouse and dependents. Dependents will be coverered to age 19 and to age 25 if a full-time student

Surviving Spouse: If retiree dies before their spouse, the spouse maintains coverage for life or until they remarry.

Post-age 65: Once a participant or spouse qualifies for Medicare, their Western Region and 177 Plan retiree health benefits continue, but Medicare becomes the primary insurer.

Qualified UPS Retirees contribute a small share toward their Western Region and 177 Plan retiree health care coverage. The monthly contribution rates are the same as those Teamster Retirees paid to the UPS Company plan.
